This has been up before in this thread.
I read about it when I installed mine late 2018.

Now with the top bridge on and forks in place, there is a gap of about 0,1” between the rubber at the top of the fork ears and the bridge.

Short of removing everything and using a thinner washer or cranking down the bearing cap to see if I can pul everything up, I don’t know what else I can do. As neither option is overly attractive, I’m planning to leave it as is. Thoughts?

I think I'd just throw an o-ring on top of each fork ear rubber to take up the space and forget about it if everything works smoothly enough.

I used some large rubber washers I found in the plumbing section at the hardware store.
